Valkyria Puzzle Solution: "What Goes Around Comes Around"

Sega should've known they needed a more complicated code, 'cuz gamers are good at solving those little puzzles and riddles designed to hide new announcements.

Well, it's not a new announcement, but the fill-in-the-blank puzzle Sega posted at the Valkyria Chronicles Twitter page has been solved. Heck, it was solved hours after it was posted, but it's not really helping anyone because the answer could mean anything: "what goes around comes around." All Sega would say is we should continue to "ponder the phrase" but if they don't make something clear soon, the fans are gonna start getting antsy. Now, PlayStation 3 owners are all hoping the news involves a new VC title for the PS3; the sequel was revealed some time ago, but it's coming exclusively to the PSP. Sega said they did this to expand the audience but in our minds, selecting only the PSP doesn't "expand" the audience; it shifts the audience. If you want to "expand" it, you have to include the system the game first appeared on, yes? We really don't know what "what goes around comes around means" but we know what the fans want, and we know it includes some fresh strategy love for the PS3.

The original Valkyria Chronicles remains one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved PS3 exclusives to date...Sega can't possibly ignore that fact, can they?

Hmm...What Goes Around Comes Around...this could signal the sequel also coming on the PSP, or (less likely, but time will tell I assume) the 3rd installment coming on the PS3! Or PSP too, but nonetheless, the PS3 :)

Sega is going to announce VC3 for its re-entry into the console race with the Dreamcast 2.

;)

Seriously, though, VC2 on the PSP WOULD expand the audience in Japan where multiple surveys show more people play the PSP and DS than they do home consoles. It has something to do with all those people who ride the trains in Japan.

Hell, look at the top seller lists in Japan every month: DS and PSP games account for the majority of those lists.

Didn't this game not do very well on the ps3? So they are changing there tactics and making it on the psp. I think it's smart, there is a bigger audience in the psp market. The only downside i can see is that there is so many great psp games coming out at the moment.

it didnt do well on ps3 because they didnt do anything to make it visible. No advertising, just word of mouth. Right now most ps3 owners know that its an amazing game. but most are too stubborn to get it. why? because they are waiting for trophy support. I mean since when has trophies stop people from getting a great game. An amazing game is an amazing game with or without trophies that really doesnt do anything, just buy it already.

trophy support doesnt make Valkyria Chronicles a better game, its completely unnecessary. But i guess its would be worth it if it will finally push trophy whores who are on the fence on buying this game.

I think it's not gonna be a PS3 sequel. They pretty much have the PSP version mostly completed. This isn't porting down to a lesser system, it's the other way around.

I say what they mean is, that it'll have some sorta connectivity with the original PS3 Valkyria Chronicles. Judging by the gameplay, it's almost the same. There weren't much improvements needed for the near perfect game. I'm not surprised that some update to the PS3 VC1 can connect to the PSP VC2.
